embling; and his father at his back。
‘Elisha;’ he said; ‘no matter what happens to me; where I go; what folks say about me; nomatter what anybody says; you remember—please remember—I was saved。 I was there。’
Elisha grinned; and looked up at his father。
‘He e through;’ cried Elisha; ‘didn’t he; Deacon Grimes? The Lord done laid him out;and turned him around and wrote his new name down in glory。 Bless our God!’
And he kissed John on the forehead; a holy kiss。
‘Run on; little brother;’ Elisha said。 ‘Don’t you get weary。 God won’t forget you。 Youwon’t forget。’
The he turned away; down the long avenue; home。 John stood still; watching him walkaway。 The sun had e full awake。 It was waking the streets; and the houses; and crying at the windows。 It fell over Elisha like a golden robe; and struck John’s forehead; where Elisha hadkissed him; like a seal ineffaceable for ever。
And he felt his father behind him。 And he felt the March wind rise; striking through hisdamp clothes; against his salty body。 He turned to face his father—he found himself smiling; buthis father did not smile。
They looked at each other a moment。 His mother stood in the doorway; in the long shadowsof the hall。
‘I’m ready;’ John said; ‘I’m ing。 I’m on my way。’
